As an eager student of the human condition, I get really excited about the strategic value of forgiveness as an essential mindset that promotes resilience and healing. And yet forgiveness is so misunderstood; it is often confused with excusing bad or offensive behavior. This Saturday, April 29 in Auburn I am so honored to be speaking with Pastor Clay Rojas of Parkside Church and Dr. Jessica Rodriguez of OnSite Strategies about the practical, real-life acts of compassion and forgiveness as a strategy for the modern family. At this event, we will step off of the treadmill of our busy, hectic lives to consider the things that we do have control over, especially when our families are impacted with loved ones who suffer and are living with persistent conditions that can test the limits of patience:

Explore the value of forgiveness to build individual resilience in self and others in the face of crisis and change

Tips to communicate and demonstrate the strategic value of forgiveness as a response to unrest and/or chronic illness in the home

Consider the steps to build a culture of forgiveness and empowerment in your home and practice

Explore the science of forgiveness as it relates to your family and use of technology in the home

The speakers will form a panel and we will explore shared insights and specific action plans that offer hope and strengthen eternal family bonds.

About: We are a non-profit education center founded in Roseville, CA to strengthen the parent-child bond in a hyper-connected world. Our mission is to restore families with the mustard seed of faith that declares liberty already belongs to the soul because one God, the Creator of all humanity, grants every human being intelligence and free will to choose what to believe, and that is power that can never be taken, but is easily surrendered to the bully, the drug or the device. To that end, ten percent of all proceeds are donated to prison ministries. Your donations are greatly appreciated. (Donations are payable to Banana Moments Foundation).
